Boy, the Cardinals must be ticked. They need to gain ground on the Brewers, and who else comes rolling into down but the slow, fat Dodgers? Easy pickins. But Tony La Russa brings in about three relievers too many and the Dodgers escape with a 2-1 victory. And today they start Cy Young candidate Clayton Kershaw. Are the Dodgers in danger of winning a series in St. Louis?

Navarro: I should be starting everyday.Mattingly: You suck. Be thankful that the other catcher on the team sucks too; otherwise you'd be on the bench everyday.Navarro: I don't suck!Mattingly: Why don't you get your ass out of here?Navarro: I have a medical condition!

Kershaw 8K badge unlocked. I actually had to double check the box score because that didn't sound totally out of the realm of possibilities despite it only being 10 outs into the game. Alas, the badge system wrong. For now.

Was anyone else listening to the radio broadcast tonight? Monday and Steiner went on for about 20 minutes about Whitey Herzog. I nearly ran my car off a bridge. Oh my god, why don't they just fucking start a radio station and talk about Whitey Herzog on that station?

Seriously, thanks for reminding me, not only is it obvious the guy doesn't know much about baseball........but he was never any good as a player so how did he get this gig? Then with those insensitive comments he's made in the past how did he stick around? There are a lot of people asleep at the wheel in this franchise. Do any of them listen to the away games and cringe at these guys? I heard Lyons is only who he is because he dropped his pants during a game back in the day....
